Homemade Burger Buns & Burgers

1. To make the homemade burger buns, place the Pizza Mix, sugar, lukewarm water, double cream and egg in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix until a smooth dough forms. 
2. Add the softened butter in small cubes and continue kneading until fully incorporated and the dough is smooth and elastic.
3. Shape the dough into a ball, cover, and let it rise in a warm, draught-free spot until doubled in size – this will take around 2 hours. 
4. Once risen, divide the dough into 10 equal pieces (around 90 g each), and shape each one into a smooth ball. 
5. Place the dough balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and gently flatten them with your hands. 
6. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave to rest for another 30 minutes. 
7. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 190°C (conventional). 
8. After resting, brush the buns with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. 
9. Bake at 190°C for 20–25 minutes until golden brown. 

Assembling the burgers 

1. Cook the beef patties in a hot frying pan to your preferred level of doneness. 
2. While they cook, slice the buns in half and lightly toast the cut sides in a pan for a few minutes. 
3. To assemble: place the base of each bun on a serving tray or board, spread with a little mayonnaise, add a lettuce leaf, a burger patty, a slice of cheese, a slice of tomato, some onion and ketchup. 
4. Finish with the top of the bun and secure with a wooden skewer. 
5. Serve your homemade burgers straight away, with extra sauce on the side if you like.
